They’re not heavily backed, but they do often move in price (sometimes up, sometimes down) and I like to leave enough room in the price to account for movement whilst still making it worthwhile.
]]>OK; thank you Chris. Are most of your selections heavily backed, then? If so, there’s no point in me bothering, as I’m not going to be putting them on at 8am.
]]>Hi David,
Interesting question, thanks. The advised profit is the profit gained from backing at the same prices I advise on a 1pt level stake win bet. The prices are always quoted with at least major firms offering the price and are posted just after 8am, allowing those with BOG options to take advantage of those too.
5/2 is of course an arbitrary figure, but I’m looking for value. That’s not to say however, I wouldn’t take 2/1 if I felt my horse should be priced at Evens, but I’ve got to post horses at a price that can take a bit of battering.
]]>Hi Paul,
I’m really not sure, but the Query Tool can work all that out for you.

Ah, OK. I wasn’t sure if it was a separate second question!
I’d assume that Jon will highlight the conditions that work best for his analysis.
I’m currently working on some trainers to follow with their 2 yr olds on debut. Initially, I’ll have a list of trainers for you to follow and then I’ll back up that research with a more in-depth analysis of each trainer that makes the list.
]]>Hi Chris the second part meaning is when we have identified a trainer that does well with horses after a break are there any further filters ,handicaps only non handicaps only and so on .
]]>Difficult to say, of course, but I’d expect those trainers adept at getting a horse ready from a long layoff to still be good at doing that. There’s still a small possibility of racing in May, so trainers who well in May normally would hope to go well again this year.
All assuming, of course, they’ve been able to train their horses normally.
]]>Hi Dave,
As useful as that might be, it’s not an area that I’ve really got much information about personally with it being less quantifiable than the type of data I normally work with.
That’s not to say another member of the team won’t have something of value to add to the discussion.
Chris
